Our Approach

Healthy Fruit

The purpose of anything we do as a mission at Harris Creek is to join in on the Mission of God. We believe that the church exists to join God in the ministry of restoration. Jeremiah 33:9 says, "Nevertheless, keep watching! I will restore this city and heal the wounds of My people. I will lavish them with peace and stability." So, since the heart of Harris Creek is to be aligned with God's heart, we are to care for most vulnerable in our own city, as well as those around the world.

The desire is for this mission focus to ultimately overflow into all aspects of life, including more personal environments, such as your neighborhood, workplace and school. This means we desire to see people serve in their spheres of influence and take an incarnational approach to sharing the Good News.

GET INVOLVED

Serve the City

There are many congregations, ministries, and nonprofits who are doing much toward individual, community, and city restoration. This search tool was built to connect compassionate people and nonprofit organizations in efforts to maximize the work being done in our city, instead of poorly stewarding time and resources by duplicating services. Join us in searching hundreds of service opportunities in the City of Waco through the portal below.

Partners & Opportunities

We seek to connect people with local and international organizations that they can serve alongside. We don't want to try to reinvent the wheel where organizations are already doing great work. There are a number of organizations we believe are advancing the Kingdom of God, and we encourage you to check them out and visit their websites for more information on how to get involved.

Community Asset Map

We firmly believe that knowledge and exposure precede action. In a church-wide effort to better understand, know, and serve the cities to which we have been sent, we have created an asset map alongside a handful of community members. The asset map provides a visual and descriptive representation of the assets – congregations, food pantries, parks and recreations, physical and mental health services, schools and educational facilities, and transportation – existing in our neighboring communities. Detailed information about each community asset, available by hovering over the individual icons or clicking specified locations within the legend, is a valuable tool and reminder of our city's numerousstrengths!
